Sara shines as a vocal teacher because of her amazing ability to combine professionalism with being genuine and personal. Her conservatory background clearly shows in her singing skills, while she is also very warm and attentive in her teaching approach. She will make sure that her students feel relaxed, comfortable, and respected, for example by starting lessons with breathing exercises. Another great thing about Sara's lessons is that she focuses on the intrinsic motivation of her students. Instead of simply instructing, she will start by asking what you would like to get out of the lessons, or which song you would love to sing. Having said this, her approach to teaching is very professional, with background theories being clearly explained up to the anatomical level, and practicing useful exercises for training purposes. I am very grateful that Sara's teaching has quickly led to some amazing progress, and I am happy that I can remain her student for a while longer. Mike, Amsterdam
